Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 My cortisol levels from diagnos-tics were as follows: 5 range 13-24 5 5-10 6 3-8 my midnight sample was thrown out because I ate a couphdrop before taking the sample. I would expect it to be higher as well, just based on the fact that I do get most of my energy later in the day and aren't ever really tired when I go to bed. my dhea 8 3-10 insulin fasting 4 3-12 non fasting insulin 3 5-20 progesterone 20 22-100 optimal range 101-130 borderline range total salivary SIgA 8 25-80 normal range 20-25 borderline range gliadin 12 borderline range 13-15 positive range >15 I can post any of my other lab values as I got alot of test's run. My dosing for the first two weeks were 10mg slow release cortisol and 30mg pregnenalone in morning(they are in a compounded pill together per my doctor). 5 mg regular Hc in morning and 5mg at noon. I am also on adrenatone plus 3x a day. I take my pills with Betaine HCl to rule out digestive issues. The last 4 or 5 days I have been dosing my HC as follows: slow release/pregnenalone pill in am 10 mg regular cortef am 10 mg regular cortef noon I am now running out of my 5mg cortef pills my doctor prescribe and have cut up 10mg prednisone pills into 2.5mg chunks which equals 10 mg cortef. I have replaced the 10 mg cortef with 2.5 mg prednisone until my new HC pills I ordered over the internet get here, then I will go back to using HC because I have read that prednisone hasn't faired so well for people as per the sttm site. The treatment is making my joint pain go away and not leaving me drained, I'm just waiting for my emotions to come back more than anything, so possibly that would be a t3 and rt3 issue solved by taking t3. Those pills shouuld be here in a week to ten days hopefully. Thanks for all you do Val, you really help alot of people live happy full lives again. > > First we do nto take sea salt fo riodine, it contains VERY little iodine > at all.
